If you have followed along this journey I have been on to find the perfect journal to work in, you know that I figured out what works for me. I make a signature each month of Stonehenge paper and when I have 6 months worth I bind it in a journal cover that I create. Quite often, I carry my signature with me in my purse and it can end up with bent pages because I toss things in on top of it as I am out and about. I decided that I needed a cover to keep the signature a little more protected and so I made this slip cover case that is just big enough for my monthly signature to fit into. 
It is made of drill cloth that I painted and sewed together with a zig-zag stitch.

Easy smeezy.
This is the inside and you can see it is just the right size for my signature.
The backDid you notice that I changed my blog look?
I got inspired and decided to change it up a bit.

Hi Teri, love your journal case. Great idea! And yes, really like the changes on your blog. It's fun to change it up isn't it. :)
Your new blog looks great....we gals do enjoy making some chnages don't we?
I love the journal case; what a clever idea....What is drill cloth? That's a new one to me...
The painting is great...you did such a good job....
Happy Weekend.....
Drill cloth is like duck cloth but for some reason a lot cheaper. That works for me! Just ask at the fabric store and they can tell you where it is.
Noticed the blog changes right away-seems more "professional" now somehow. Glad to see the creativity is flowing!
Twill vs Drill cloth:
These are two interesting words that hide numeral meanings in them. Twill has (2) strands and drill has (3) strands in the fiber. Or at least it's supposed to. Think of 'zwei' and 'drei' for (2) and (3) in German or its linguistic cousins.
Also, denim came 'from Nimes,' France ( 'de Nimes.' )
A couple other, non-fabric words that hide a (2) in them are 'twilight' ('second-rate' light) and 'biscuit' (cooked on both sides.)
